I have always called Japan the most perverse advanced industrial nation on Earth, after reading stories of 1.It’s legendary “eating” champion and how he trained, and 2. how they made an iconic culture hero out of a guy who actually committed cannibalism. Short on the details oif that one. Then of course there’s 3., Their behavior during WW2-—every bit as ghoulish and horrific as the Nazi’s, just not as well organized “industrially”.
